AuthorTopic: input level as modulation source (Read 762 times)

i really hope i am blind but from what i can tell roland left this feature out ...wtf roland really....i use this on the vg-99 for tons of stuffworks really really good for modulating the pre amp gain on a amp sim to give you more dynamics like a real amp...or to modulate the cosm guitar volume or pan or wet dry or .....

The VG99 is as close as they got to your ideal. Use an external synth or FTP for midi. I hope Roland will make "VGR-99" one day. Ideally it would be a floorboard that looks like an FC300 but has VG99 dual COSM and flexible effects chains, better internal GR55 synth, GR30 triggering (best Roland had so I hear). If the put together their best in one box, I'd give $1800 for it, gladly.

Oh man, this would be so amazing. I'd even be happy to see a competitor take the ball and run with it. I'd give $1800 to Behringer if they got all these ducks in a row. If nothing else, it might put a fire under Roland's a$$.

Other guitars require the simple addition of a hex pickup like the Roland GK-3 or equivalent. These pickups can typically be installed with no physical modification of your guitar.

Auto-Tune for Guitar Software Feature Packs are Now Available

February 4, 2013

Three Software Feature Packs for the Peavey AT-200 guitar are now available from the Auto-Tune for Guitar web store. The packs add a variety of powerful new features to the AT-200, including guitar models, alternate tunings, doublings (12-strings, octavers, etc.), capo settings, global transposition, fine tuning, MIDI control, the ability to save and load presets and more.

The new features can be accessed from the AT-200 via the new Fret Control system or from any MIDI controller, including our free Auto-Tune for Guitar layout for the MIDI Designer Pro iPad app.

Complete information about the Software Feature Packs can be found here.

so we get to buy two or more products which i have done...why not just make one box for the amount of money that does it all...again they have the know howand we have the technology...i mean they still make the same $$ ...hell they might make more since they would only have to manufacture onepiece of gear as apposed to several hence lowering their cost.

i have the vg99 and do pretty far out stuff with it....imho i see / hear very few people doing what i do with the vg-99 ( big bass, "sine waves", techno, "synth sounds etc )i love the vg-99 and it can do amazing thingsi also have the gr-55 which i love and it to can do amazing thingsi also have a laptop but i don't want to use vst's as program changes is a bit of a pain in live plus the cpu drain as i run 5 loopers and 10 channels ofdrums, percussion, fx, samples etc, with the lowest latency i can so i am already pushing my laptop to the extreme

so come on roland i will gladly pay $2500 for a full on vg-99 and gr-55 with ALL the features of both oh and give me monophonic synths and more that just a sine wavefor my pcm lfo's...hell i would pay $3500 for that as i have spent more anyhow with the gear i currently use!

i have been using roland synths /samplers, drum machines, grooveboxes and guitar gear for over 22 years so i know better than to hold my breathbut what i am asking for i know for a fact they can produce....

oh well the tools i have are great and their is always a work around so i guess i should just shut up and play my geetar

oh and one last rant...for those that say "there isn't a market for such a product" is bullocksi play electronic music festivals and have tons of guitar playing KIDS ask me how the hell can you do that with a guitar and i show them thevg-99 and more recently the gr-55 and the response is always the same from this new generation...it goes something like this...."yeah i saw that in guitar center in the corner...checked out the official videosand i thought it was cheesy and just for old 1980's rocker guys and cover bands"

to which i reply well i am an old 1980's rocker guy and these tools can do far more than what roland demonstrates.

hell their dismissal of bill ruppert is proof that roland has absolutely no idea what the new market is about...they did they same thing with the 808, 909, 303, ......it boggles my mind

That's me on VG-99 for everything except the beat and synth bass part which done with me triggering Apple mainstage samples. Forrest you might recognize a sound or two of yours in the intro. The only thing that isn't VG-99 is the robot voices and the Mini moog lead from my friend Keith. He added a pad at the end but it's all VG otherwise.

todd....you are one of the few i see pushing it and are just the type of cat roland needs to look towards for the future market place!yes we all love to ROCK and roland has that down but the old guard is well getting old and these "kids" want something new not videos of balding long hair 80's rockers playing the same old riffs and sounds cuz as we know these products are far beyond what they show in their promos

I agree with you. Each generation will be forced to face: "grandpa's still clinging on to a belief of still remaining relevant" syndrome.
